SUMMARY:Six Kenyan Political Parties to Advance the Institutional Adoption of Women and Youth Training Manuals
DESCRIPTION:Between 8 and 20 September 2026\, six political parties in Kenya will take part in a series of institutional meetings aimed at securing the formal endorsement and adoption of training manuals designed to strengthen their internal Women and Youth Leagues. \nThe initiative is implemented by The Oslo Center (TOC) in collaboration with the Christian Democratic International Center (KIC)\, within the framework of WYDE Political Parties\, led by the European Network of Political Foundations (ENoP) and funded by the European Union. \nThe activity builds on work carried out in 2025\, when TOC and KIC developed party-specific training manuals and delivered pilot Training of Trainers (ToT) programmes for six political parties: the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM)\, Wiper Patriotic Front (WPF)\, Jubilee Party\, Kenya African National Union (KANU)\, United Democratic Alliance (UDA)\, and Democracy for the Citizens’ Party (DCP). \nWhile these manuals represent an important step in strengthening the capacities of women and young political leaders\, their long-term impact depends on their integration into the parties’ own institutional structures. \nTo support this process\, TOC will organise six individual meetings with party leadership\, including representatives of the Women and Youth Leagues. Each meeting will take place at the respective party’s headquarters and focus on presenting the manuals\, securing formal endorsement and defining how they can be integrated into internal training systems. \nFormal adoption will be documented through endorsement by senior party leadership\, followed by the handover of the manuals to the relevant internal training units or league representatives. \nBeyond the approval of training materials\, the initiative seeks to encourage political parties to take greater ownership of leadership development and establish more systematic opportunities for women and young people to strengthen their political capacities. \nBy embedding these resources within party structures\, the activity aims to ensure that training and capacity-building can continue beyond the WYDE project cycle\, contributing to stronger internal party democracy and more inclusive political institutions. \n\nEvent Details\n\nActivity: Formal Endorsement and Institutionalisation of Party Women and Youth League Training Manuals\nPeriod: 8-20 September 2026\nLocation: Political party headquarters\, Kenya\nImplemented by: The Oslo Center (TOC)\, in collaboration with the Christian Democratic International Center (KIC)\nProject: WYDE Political Parties – led by ENoP and funded by the European Union\nParticipating parties: ODM\, WPF\, Jubilee Party\, KANU\, UDA and DCP\nFormat: Six individual institutional meetings with political party leadership\nMain objective: Formal endorsement and integration of Women and Youth League training manuals into political party structure

SUMMARY:Listening to Grassroots Leadership: WYDE Initiative at International Democracy Day Brussels 2026
DESCRIPTION:On 17 September\, the WYDE Initiative will take part in the 12th edition of the International Democracy Day Brussels Conference\, contributing a joint session that brings together perspectives from across the WYDE programme. \nHosted within one of Europe’s leading annual forums on democracy\, the session\, “WYDE Initiative: Rethinking Leadership from the Ground Up\,” will feature representatives from WYDE Women Leadership\, WYDE Civic Engagement and WYDE Political Parties. Together\, they will explore how grassroots actors are reshaping political participation\, leadership and democratic engagement across different regions and contexts. \nThis year’s International Democracy Day Brussels conference asks a timely question: What’s Next for Democracy? Rather than offering predefined answers\, the conference creates space to reflect on how democracy support can adapt to a rapidly changing political landscape. Within this broader conversation\, the WYDE Initiative contributes a perspective grounded in lived experience and local leadership. \nAcross the world\, women\, young people and community leaders continue to develop new forms of participation\, representation and collective action. Yet the realities they face often evolve faster than traditional democracy support mechanisms. The WYDE session creates an opportunity to listen directly to these experiences and reflect on what international partners\, policymakers and democracy practitioners can learn from them. \nRather than showcasing projects or presenting institutional achievements\, the discussion is designed as a listening exercise. Participants will explore how emerging forms of leadership challenge conventional assumptions about political participation\, while highlighting the importance of adapting democracy support to changing realities on the ground. \nThe panel will bring together: \n\nTosin Ajayi\, Executive Director of Women Environment and Youth Development Initiative (WOYODEV)\, representing WYDE Women Leadership;\nCamila Moreno Gil\, representing WYDE Civic Engagement;\nEmmy Otim\, Regional Manager for East Africa at KIC Sweden and CEO of Distinct Leadership Consults\, representing WYDE Political Parties.\n\nThe discussion will be moderated by Chiara Grigolo\, Associate Programme Officer at International IDEA. \nBy bringing together three complementary WYDE components in a single conversation\, the session reflects the value of collaboration across programmes working to strengthen democratic participation\, inclusion and leadership. While each initiative approaches these objectives from a different perspective\, the discussion highlights the importance of learning across sectors and recognising grassroots actors not simply as beneficiaries of democracy support\, but as partners whose experience can help shape its future. \nAs democratic contexts continue to evolve\, the WYDE Initiative remains committed to creating spaces where local voices\, practical experience and collaborative learning inform broader conversations on democracy\, participation and inclusive leadership. \n\n\n\nEvent Details\nEvent: WYDE Initiative: Rethinking Leadership from the Ground Up \nPart of: International Democracy Day Brussels Conference 2026 \nConference Theme: What’s Next for Democracy?
